All roads lead to bespoke kitchen company Peden & Pringle - or so it seemed to the new owners of a late Victorian house in Edinburgh. 'We had designed a kitchen for not one, but two, of their close relatives and then we were also recommended by their architect,' recalls director Camilla Pringle. 'When it came to replacing the 30-year-old kitchen inherited with the house, they contacted us at the beginning of the project.
